Announcements
Visitors: Welcome—we
are glad you are here! You are invited to
fill out a visitor card, which can be found
in the pew holder or obtained from an
usher. Please put the completed card in the
offering plate or return it to an usher. We
hope you will stay for Sunday School; we
have classes for all ages. Please join us
again!
Baby
Bottle Campaign:
Last Sunday baby bottles were given out to
families in attendance to take home and fill
with change, bills, or a check to support
the Ashland Care Center (formerly the
Pregnancy Center) and their free,
life-affirming programs. If you were not
here last Sunday or would like to take a
second bottle, they are on the table in the
coatroom. Our church was given 100 bottles;
it would be great to have them all filled.
The bottles will
need to be brought back to the church and
put on the table in the coatroom by April 4,
Easter Sunday.
Adult
Sunday School Papers “Power For Living”:
The Sunday School
papers for this week have been put in the
mailboxes of those that we know stay for
class. (Some of you received photocopies of
the original because we ran out). If you
are staying for Sunday School but did not
get a paper, or if you do not stay for
Sunday School but would also like to receive
the papers, please put a note in the
“office” mailbox (top row) letting us know
that. (There are index cards on the table
in the coatroom to write on).
Building Committee Meeting:
Clayton Krichbaum, Building
Committee Chairperson, has called for a
Building Committee Meeting on Thursday,
March 25, at 7 p.m.
Benefit for Ron Gilbert:
Ron is a quadriplegic who
lost his home and specially equipped van in
a fire in February. The benefit will take
place at the Shreve American Legion on
Saturday, March 27, with chicken dinners
available by donations from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. and again at 4 p.m. until they run
out. A fund has also been established for
him at the Monitor Bank. For more
information, please see John Schweyer.
Water
Garden Tour:
Pastor Ken and Dianne’s farmhouse is going
to be a stop on the July 11 “Water Garden
Tour.” The church’s water fountain is also
included in the tour. If you would be
interested in taking a shift from 10-4 to
stand at the fountain and share information
about it, answer questions, and hand out
church material, please speak to Dianne.
PhoneTree Issues:
If PhoneTree is calling your
home but not leaving the message, the
problem might be with background noise. If
you have the TV or radio on loud, are
unloading groceries or doing dishes, or
there is a conversation taking place in the
background that PhoneTree detects, PT will
often wait for a long period of time until
it figures out what is happening before
beginning the message, or it will simply
hang up. This is also true for people that
have reordered their out-going message on
their answering machine with noise in the
background. In addition, if you answer the
phone with a very quiet, soft voice, PT does
not always detect it, thus again it either
waits for a long period of time before
beginning the message or it hangs up.
Please let the
office know of problems you are having so we
can try to resolve them.
Recycling: The
Missions Committee received $38.50 for their
last delivery of recyclable material. (From
now on when taking recycling to Stanton &
Evelyn Atterholt’s house, please put it in
the shed across from the driveway instead of
the new shed).
Easter Musical:
The choir will be presenting the praise and
worship musical of Jesus’ life, “Jesus, the
One and Only,” on Palm Sunday, March 28, at
2:30 p.m., and on Good Friday, April 2, at 7
p.m. This would be a wonderful event to
invite others to attend.
Cellar Dweller Sunday School Class:
The class has left the
cozy room upstairs and is again dwelling in
the cellar. They began a new study by Max
Lucado, “Fearless,” last week. The class is
open to anyone that would like to join them.
Church & Ministry Committee Meeting:
There will be a Church &
Ministry Committee Meeting at the church
this Thursday, March 18, at 7 p.m. For more
information, please see Clayton Krichbaum,
Committee Chairperson.
Pastor Ken’s New Sunday School Class:
Pastor Ken will
begin teaching a class in New Testament
Greek on the Book of John today. This
class, which will meet in the classroom that
the Cellar Dwellers vacated next to the
office, is open to everyone.
“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat” Kyra
Rush has a part in the musical about the
life of Joseph, which will take place at the
Mansfield Playhouse on March 19, 20, 26, 27
and April 2 at 7 p.m., and on March 28 and
April 3 at 2:30 p.m. The theater is located
at 95 E. Third St. For ticket information,
call 419-522-2883.
Prayer Chain: If
you have an urgent prayer concern on a day &
time other than Monday, Wednesday & Friday
from 9-5, my usual office hours, that needs
to be put on PhoneTree as quickly as
possible, please call my cell phone at
419-606-0336 instead of leaving a message on
the church voice mail—thank you.
